GLASS-FASTENER.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDWIN THOMAS SIN COCK, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, residing at Black Hawk Post Office, in the ada, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Glass-Fasteners, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention is an improved glassfastener for securing` a glass paneor panes in a window sash or other frame, without the necessityT ofemploying putty or the like adhesive, and it consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing,-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a glassfastener' constructed in accordance with this invention, showing thesaine applied to a window sash for securing a glass pane therein. Fig. 2is a detail perspective view of the glass fastener. Fig. 3 is anelevation of a form of my irnproved glass fastener for use in a corneror angle of a window sash, showing the same tive' view of such form ofglass fastener. Fig. 5 is an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1,showing the glass fastener' attached to a window sash, a portion of thelatter being indicated and the pane being indicated in cross section.

My improved glass fastener comprises a base to bear against the innerside4 of the window sash or other frame, a Wing extending` from suchbase at an angle thereto and parallel with the glass pane, and a springattached to such wing lto bear against such pane and hold the latter inplace.

In the form of the invention shown in Figs.

integrally from a piece of sheet metal, such i Speccaton'of LettersPatent.

Serial No. 393,422.

wing being bent at right angles to such base at one side of the latter,as shown at Fig. 2. The said wing is shorter than said base, and theends of the latter are provided with openings 3 for the reception ofscrews, nails or other like devices, by which the fastener may besecured to one side of the sash or frame with the base bearing againstthe same, to dispose the wing parallel with the glass pane. The spring 4has its central portion'secured to the said wing, its end portions beingdisposed to bear against the glass to hold the latter in place.

In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the base comprisesright-angle portions 5, 6 to bear in the corner or angle of a sash orother frame, and the wing 7 connects such angle portions 5, 6. Thespring S has its central portion attached to the said wing, and itsvends serve to bear against the glass pane, as in the iirst instance.

A glass fastener thus constructed may be very readily manufactured atslight cost, maybe readily attached to or detached from a window sash orother frame and is entirely efficient in securing a glass pane in placeand renders the use of putty or the like substance for this purposeunnecessary.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

A glass fastener comprising a base having angularly disposed portions tobear in the corner of a sash or the like frame, a wing connecting suchportions7 and a spring on said wing to bear against the glass.

In testimony whereof, I afIiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
